Oh no, is he that BORING in person? I haven't seen too much of him actually. He sounds good in print. Well, they like him in Virginia. The new Rasmussen poll has him with a big lead:
January 18, 2006--Virginia Senator George Allen (R) leads Northern Virginia businessman Harris Miller (D) by 30 percentage points in his bid for re-election. Miller just recently filed to enter the race and has not had the opportunity for much campaigning at this point. He is the only Democrat so far to step forward and challenge Allen. While November is a long way away, this data suggests that Miller has a very steep hill to climb. Allen is viewed favorably by 70% of Virginia voters and unfavorably by 25%. For Miller, those numbers are 38% favorable, 31% unfavorable, and 31% not sure.
I've never met the man but he strikes me as roughly our side's equivalent of Kerry. He isn't nearly as pretentious as Kerry, but sort of a dull type. He does have a folksy appeal, which Kerry never had, but on the personality meter he rates pretty low.
Good fella, from all I can tell.
